Samples of cover letters for a dog groomer with no experience
If you have zero experience and you’re looking to start a job in your specific industry, you can get the attention of job recruiters and hiring managers by including a well-written cover letter for a fresher level with your resume even with limited experience. When writing a cover letter with zero experience, these are some of the important things to include in your letter:
- Mention your fresh knowledge. Use your recent learning experiences to your advantage; an employer might be more willing to hire you if they know you can help their business acclimate to new technologies or practices.
- Express your energy and enthusiasm. It shows the potential motivation you will bring to a job as a fresh college graduate.
- Check your grammar and proofread your letter. It is a way of showing employers your ability to write comprehensive, error-free messages.
- The first step is addressing the employer with a formal salutation. For example, “Dear/Hello (name of the recipient).” If you do not know the name of the recipient, you can refer to them as the hiring manager.
- The next step is to state the position you are applying for and how you found the opening.
- Make a brief statement about why you’re interested in the position.
- Since you are a recent graduate, it would help to emphasize your college coursework, internships, and other experiences that show your employability.
- Ensure your qualifications are similar to the job position.
- Conclude your letter with a forward-looking statement. For example, “I look forward to
discussing the position with you further.”
Sample 1:
“Dear name,
I hope you are doing well today, ma’am/sir. Your job post on Linkedin for the part-time Junior Dog Handler position is something that I would really love to apply for. As an owner of five dogs myself, in which two of them have special needs, I believe I have the basic skills as well as the passion to care not only for these animals but also their owners.
Apart from the fact that I am a dog owner, I am confident that I can do this job because I also hold relevant experiences as a volunteer for HumaneUS, a non-profit animal rescue center, where I worked in a team to reunite lost pets to their owners through the software tool Shadow.
On top of that, I have been taking some of my neighbors’ dogs for a walk together with mine at least three to five (3-5) times per week (please see resume for their contact details). This means that I usually need to handle five to seven (5-7) dogs every time I go out, which has greatly improved my physical strength, as well as my understanding of dog behavior. Should you choose to hire me, I believe all these reasons would make me a good fit for the job opening, especially with the help of your training program.
To help you decide further, here are my other skill and character sets that would benefit your company:
- With my team, we have rescued a total of 89 stray animals in a year-long volunteer experience at HumaneUS.
- We have also succeeded in reuniting 22 of these animals with their owners, and we have given 41 a new home.
- Apart from dog walking, I go running or biking three to four times per week to maintain my physical health.
- I am an early bird who has never missed scheduled appointments in my lifetime.
My resume and some images are attached to this email for your reference. I look forward to being interviewed at your earliest convenience either in person or on any communication platform of your choice, ma’am/sir. Please find my contact details below my signature.”
Sample 2:
“Dear Mr. James:
I am writing to apply for the position of Groomer at the Pet Paradise Resort. My first and foremost reason to apply for this job is my inborn love for animals. As I possess a keen passion for animals and a solid background in working with different species of animals, I am confident that I can contribute efficiently to the grooming of your pets.
I am aware of the fact that a professional groomer is not only required to keep pets them looking good but also there is a lot more to pet grooming than that. Since I have had considerable experience in working with domestic pets, I always look out for any problems that they may face such as ear infections, skin abnormalities, and even tooth decay. Because I have some experience working in a vet’s office, I am familiar with managing less complex health-related problems in pets.
I am quite excited at the prospect of being hired at this position as I am confident of my abilities to execute what this position demands. I will call you at the end of the week at the number you provided in your advertisement and will be available to talk at (059) 524-9658 if you feel the need to ask for any additional information.
Thank you for your time and consideration, I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Sincerely,
Sarah Dylan”

“Dear Ms. Shelly Wilde,
Attached you will find my resume in regards to a grooming position that is currently available at your company LifeCare Inc.
I have a high school diploma and interned with a professional groomer for six months while learning all the necessary procedures including bathing the animals, rough cutting the fur, blow drying and finalizing the end style. In my past employment, I worked with dogs that were very matted and needed extra attention along with grooming show dogs to ensure that they were ready for their competitions.
My communication and interpersonal skills allow me to work directly with and to develop relationships with all clients and their pets. I have a real love for animals and can work with even the most difficult pets to ensure that the client receives the service that they seek from the company. It is my goal to have clients that are happy when they leave the shop with their pets from those simply seeking to have their pets bathed and nails clipped to those who seek intricate designs for their pets’ fur.
I have also trained in dying or shaving pet’s fur in nontraditional ways to create custom works of art for their pets. This is a new trend for most pet owners and when required I am able to work directly with customers to come up with unique ways to groom their pets to offer the end result that the client requires.
Please feel free to contact me at any time in regards to this opening by calling (555)-555-5555.
Respectfully,
Your Signature
Linda Atkins
